Why do I need to soak the walnuts for the brownies?

Soaking the walnuts helps to soften them, making them easier to process into a smooth, cohesive brownie base and potentially improving their texture in the final product.

How do I know when the brownie mixture is ready in the food processor?

The brownie mixture is ready when it comes together and forms a cohesive ball, indicating that all the ingredients are well combined and will press firmly into your baking dish.

Can I adjust the consistency of the raw salted caramel sauce?

Yes, if your caramel sauce is too thick, you can add a little more warm water gradually while blending until you reach your desired smoothness. If it's too thin, you can try blending in a few more dates.

Is coconut oil essential for the salted caramel sauce?

The recipe states coconut oil is optional. It can add a bit of richness and a smoother texture to the caramel, but the sauce will still be delicious without it.

How should I store these raw walnut date brownies?

Since these are no-bake and raw, they should be stored in the refrigerator to keep them cool and set. Place them in an airtight container for optimal freshness.
